"Do you think this is feasible?" Zhao Deming asked in disbelief. He is the commander of the fifth fortress built by the State of Zhao on the plateau. As the commander of Fort No. 5, his duty is to stick to his position. But he got a telegram from the country. The domestic telegram asked him to recruit some mountain Qiang people here as their supplementary soldiers. He was very confused about such an order.

"Sir, I think we should believe what we want to post. It may be that we arrest some mountain Qiang people and go back." His adjutant, Lieutenant Ma Quan said.

"Damn it, you're talking about captured slaves, not soldiers. The people we captured are for war. Not for work." Zhao Deming said with some annoyance. He was very annoyed by such orders. Because he came here as a defensive officer. What he originally wanted was to come here to do some business with these mountain Qiang people and prepare for his retirement. He just served as the major commander of this company. His future is bleak, he can only hope to do some business to accumulate some money. Then I retired honorably and went back to do some business and so on.

However, his boss always gave him some inexplicable orders. He finds it difficult for him to finish.

"Sir, we can give it a try and capture slaves, which can solve the problem of soldiers. We do this every day. I think we can solve this problem as long as we provide some soldiers." Ma Quan said at this time. To.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Deming asked patiently.

"I mean, sir, we can take those slaves. Let's recharge." Ma Quan said at this time.

"Charge?" Zhao Deming asked.

"Yes, sir, the only way to do this, apart from this, I really can't think of any other way to do this." Ma Quan said.

"En. Well, maybe you are right." Zhao Deming said.

"At present, the best benefit we can get here is these slaves. The money we can make is very small, and most of the profits go into the hands of the people of Qin." Zhao Deming said angrily. The business that Zhao Deming first came here to do was the slave business. He was different from the people in Ping An Fort. The people in Ping'an Fort all went to catch the slaves themselves, which caused the people around Ping'an Fort to hate them extremely. In this regard, Zhao Deming accepted the advice of his adjutant Ma Quan, and adopted reassurance measures, using the peace of trade to exchange with them. The rifle was exchanged for slaves, or various commodities were exchanged for slaves. For this, he also set up a bazaar not far from his fortress. It was specially used to exchange the slaves he needed, but his business was only limited to the slave trade. Some important daily necessities became the patents of the people of Qin, and they used them to exchange things they thought they liked, such as women, fine sheepskins, or other precious furs. And he can only do this kind of business occasionally.

"We couldn't make much money, and now we have to provide these slaves to it. I am really annoyed." Zhao Deming himself thought about it.

"You better think about whether we have the possibility of doing other business. I don't want to be able to do anything in my own office." Zhao Deming said angrily.

"Well, sir, I think it's actually good to do this. We can bring in some goods from the people of Qin. If we are soldiers, these people will need to pay military wages. We can use their military wages instead. This is better than the slave trade. The population of this place is not struggling, and the slave trade does not benefit much.” Ma Quan persuaded.

"But the Qin people's support is needed to do this kind of business, and can you be sure that we can give them enough military pay?" Zhao Deming asked.

"We can give it a try. It is natural to make a lot of money by trading in goods, but it is very slow. And the profit is unstable." Ma Quan said.

"Well, just do as you said. You'd better complete this matter as soon as possible. If it is done, it will be of great help to our business." Zhao Deming nodded and said.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau where the mountain Qiang people are located is extremely difficult to develop because of its special geographical environment, and it seems that everything must be done at a high price to complete one thing, which makes Zhao Jun stationed here Extremely troublesome, because they are not troubled by the garrison life here. But how to start their own business on such a barren land and earn enough for their retirement expenses. It is impossible to count on their poor military salary to moisturize them. This also allowed Zhao Jun to make money from all his thoughts. They are trying their best to get the profits they want from the orders of their superiors.

"I know about this project." Yingyu said to Xiao He.

"This project is a government project. If it is done, with the help of the government, we may get the right to trade in the entire southern Western Region. This is a very attractive condition." Yingyu said.

"However, our current funds are somewhat inadequate, not only because of these, but there are also some risks that we are worth noting. In the southern part of the Western Regions, we still don’t know how much development is worth, the risks of development, and these places. They are all uncontrollable places, which have a great impact on us. Now the bank's funding is getting tighter and tighter. Under such circumstances, we cannot have too much funds to enter that place." Yingyu said worriedly. To.

"En. Chairman, I think we can arrange it, or examine this direction, at least in the future, we can use him as a reference project." Xiao He said.

"En. If this is the case, we can still do this. After all, the cost is not a lot. Maybe we can afford this kind of funds." The chairman said.

"En. You can do this and see if there is any value in doing it. Although it is a government child, we should also pay attention to the existence of some special circumstances." Yingyu said. Regarding the development of the southern part of the Western Regions, Yingyu believes that the current Wenyang Bank has to consider some risks, especially when funds are very tight, lack of funds will cause very serious consequences, and face such risks. It is better to avoid these risks as early as possible. This is Yingyu's plan. They are a profitable business organization.
